Hi Derek

Sorry for the delay, have been off line with no computor for a couple of weeks.
I am sorry i have looked on the London Road Burial register, Coventry Midwives disc and workhouse, 1841 and 1861 and not found any Harridence.

So sorry

I found one very interesting article there about Luddite riots in Coventry involving a Benjamin Sparkes, who was sentenced to death (commuted to transportation).

I have four people from Fillongley of that name in my tree, but the ages are wrong, so I'm still trying to work out if this Benjamin is one of mine.

Mary I came acroos it yesterday and have found a few bits related to my family

Ooh, threadkiller, that Coventry Collections site is excellent.

I thought it'd be just Coventry city, but it has references to some of my Fillongley people.

Two of them appear to have taken the Freeman's Oath, which I hadn't expected.

Hello Kal, researching the name of Harridence in and around Warwick. However, some were raised in Foleshill, so any help would be appreciated. I had no idea where it was, prob being a southerner. Congrats on a good idea/thread, Derek in France
